Download or read book The War of the Worlds written by Herbert George Wells and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-01-06 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The radio play of War of the Worlds is perhaps the most famous in the world. According to newspaper reports, it caused intense irritation among the people of New York and New Jersey, some of whom thought the radio play was authentic reportage and that an actual alien attack was credible. This was because Welles used a new type of recording: he recorded the radio play the day before and then had music added to it. This made the recordings seem like the normal radio program, in which the host interrupts from time to time to share the latest news about the invasion. The coverage of these incidents made the program, and with it the young Orson Welles, world famous. Gröls Classics - English Edition

Download or read book Women Emancipation and the German Novel 1871 1910 written by Charlotte Woodford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In novels written at the end of the long nineteenth century, women in Germany and Austria engaged with some of the most pressing social questions of the modern age. Charlotte Woodford analyses a wide range of such works, many of them largely forgotten, in the context of the contemporary cultural discourses that informed their creation, such as writings on pacifism and socialism, prostitution, birth control and sexually transmitted diseases. Women's experience of contemporary medicine as patients and doctors is a fascinating theme, treated here by several authors. Through a close reading of works by Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Minna Kautsky, Gabriele Reuter, Helene Bohlau, Ilse Frapan, Hedwig Dohm, Lou Andreas-Salome, and others, this study shows how writers' determination to validate women's experience of the problems of modernity informed the aesthetic development of the novel by women."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What the time traveler held in his hand was a glittering framework of metal, hardly larger than a small watch, and very finely crafted. There was ivory on it and a transparent, crystalline substance. And now I must go into detail, because what follows is, unless you accept his explanation, something absolutely inexplicable. He took one of the small octagonal tables that stood around the room and placed it in front of the fire, with two feet on the hearth rug." Gröls Classics - English Edition

I did not want to live what was not life; life is so precious. Nor did I want to practice renunciation unless it became unavoidably necessary.
